last night i was opening up my car on the highway. as i was going from 3rd to 4th my car started to bog slightly, then it back fired then it reved to like 9k as if i was putting my car from 4th into 1st and slowly came to a stop..anyone know what happened? my car doesnt start anymore. sounds like it doesnt have compression. my friend said he heard it and it made the sound like the time his bros crx dropped a valve..i thought i made the timing belt slip, but i didnt. there was no hole in the block or leaking oil..anyone know what this is? please help me out asap..tomorrow i am planning to take off the head..hope i dont find anything fcked up

 

bump..need some help

 

Check the timing, do a compression test. After that, drop the oil pan and inspect bearings/rods.

 

u can check the timing even though the car cant start? is there any way to do a compression test without using the tester?..sorry im a noob to this car stuff..if i cant do it, my dad wants a shop to fix it

 

Drain the oil and check for metal shavings also.

 

Line up the crank pulley with the marking on the bottom, and see if the cams line up, search around the forum for the how-to and good luck man.

 

prepare to pull the head.
you bent your valves.

 

Check the tension on your timing belt. If it's loose, you probably skipped a couple teeth...

 

For some reason do you have a b16? Because my friend did the same an he endednup messing up a valve so he replace them all with skunk2

 

ok dude if ur car doesnt start that means u either have bent ur valves or crack pistons. cus if u mis that really kills the motor.. and its really hard to pop it back to 1st gear once ur in 2nd or all the gears.

 

I agree as well.

 

Ok..headsup..i found out that the timing is off..me and my friends are going to try and reset the timing and go from there..

 

That sucks. why is there so many mis shift threads lately

 

if the timings off, u can bet that it didnt go out of spec peacefully.. it took motor parts with it

 

I'm sure it's fine, just like my f20b was:

 

^^^major ouch

 

thats messed up..i hope my motor isnt like that

 

ouch, i guess you should of change your timing belt.
thats what happened to my y8

 

how do u know by what his description says. lots of things could have happen. he needs to to do what the guys have told him first. check timing, check compression then if thats junked up drain oil and pull the pan and look for **** salad in the pan.

 

this happened cause u didnt change your timing belt?

 

I would change the belt anyway... it slipped for a reason and it could be because the belt is old and stretched.

 

dude, if your belt slipped and you havnt messed with it at all, and you were in 3rd going to 4th, you really just need to drain the oil, and if you see metals shards then pull the head. Slipped belts NEVER end well.

 

^^^^

thanks for providing me with a picture to match my nightmares....

 

check for compression. probably valve problem or even worse.

 

looks similiar to my trucks old motor... Some bondo should fix that Right up
